BILBAO 2022
First season of the Ibero-luso-american Games.

SPORTS PROGRAME:

Well, the spanish federation decided not to send several boats to the World Championships and have them focusing instead in the final qualification regatta......

I'm doing this out of boredom.

I think, no, I am sure - I´ll contact our federaton and say them about it, in case of

It's March 13, even if the french race is canceled he still has plenty of time to get a 20km decent race.
 
But, however, reading the "panic" around him I don't think he knows his 2018 europeans count for the ranking....

I don't think you need any qualifiying mark for that event, so it shouldn't be a problem if the slovak federation wants to send him there.

I think they have pretty good chances to qualify also 1 or 2 fighters in men's boxing...

One of is guaranteed to qualify in womens' -69kg. 

Belgium is back in Olympic basketball for the first time since Helsinki 1952.

In most sports Australia has the easiest Olympic qualification route of any country as part of Oceania. In most cases their only significant opposition is New Zealand. European countries usually have the toughest route to qualification as in many of the sports the continent has the greatest strength in depth. So I'm sorry, but I really can't find any sympathy for your argument.

I root for this small countrys even if they finish last.
 
Is not like they're taking out any medal contenders for the game. Plus, there are like 35 quotas available in Men's Laser and even more in the woman's event. If a "big" country hasn't qualify yet is because they don't deserve it.
Better have countrys with small representation have another athlete then a country like Spain that has around 300 athletes in the games add one more guy when he's not going to add nohong valuable or even a story to follow.

After what happend at the 2016 qualification tournament, I can't be happier now

Obviously Spain won by 1 goal, since I have RUS 1 in the PC
 
Anyway, congrats really impressive results in this Olympic cycle across almost all sports

1st of 3 gold medals this weekend. 
 
¡Vamos España!

Australia/NZ should always compete against Africa or Asia, it makes no sense having an Oceanian quota cause it's basically a free cuota for Australia (not like they need it in a lot of sports because they are competitive).

@Jur medal for !

I like my name (Jonander) a lot.

Summing up the chances of each surfer in Pipeline.
 
 
 
Michel Bourez and Joan Duru are going to decide the last french quota. Duru needs to win the competition. There is no other way for him.
If Bourez finishes on 9th or better, Duru is automatically out.
 

 
Up this moment, John John Florence has the last American quota in his hands. If he finishes the event in 3rd or better, he'll get this officialy.
 
Kelly Slater can grab this quota:
 
if he wins the competition, and Florence finishes 5th or worse
if he finishes on 2nd place, and Florence finishes 9th or worse
if he finishes on 3rd place, and Florence finishes 17th or worse
if he finishes 5th place, and Florence finishes on 33rd
  Seth Moniz also has a small chance to get it. He needs at least the third place and bad results from Kelly and Florence to have a chance to qualify.     the fight fot the title will be, likely, between the Brazilians, and the Olympic quotas as well. The pontuation difference is
very small, because of that only one heat can make a huge change in their positions. So, Basically:   Ítalo has to finish the event on the same position, or better, than Medina or Toledo to qualify. Medina needs to finish the competition on the same position, or better, than Toledo Toledo needs to finish the competition in a better position than Ítalo and/or Medina(his first contender to the Olympic quota)   There are other possibilities, but we need to wait the waves, to check it up.
  The most complex competition for Olympic quotas. Six surfers for two spots. Owen Wright has a good pontuation, with 5.000 points ahead of Julian Wilson, the second Australian surfer in the ranking. He's in a comfortable position for his quota. As for the other five surfers, the situation is similar to the Brazilians, one heat can change everything.

congrats !!!

Liechtenstein has put legitimate funding into their program. They recently purchased a push track that can be set up anywhere with a enough room. They’ve been trying to build a program because I think it’s a sport where they think they could see some success. Brazil has a good program, there’s just not a lot of interest, and because of how the Youth Series works their ranked higher than some more traditional countries. Overall, every NOC that attempted to get a quota should get one. Really it just comes down to there was enough quotas to make everyone happy, and some NOCs just don’t want to fund a trip to the YOG.

Yeah, ten Asian nations have already qualified. In terms of tripartite nations I would say and have better chances, but it would be nice to see them qualify in their national sport.
 
The favourites seem to be three of but in archery anything could happen, the three previously mentioned tripartite nations plus could pull off the upset.
